Also can you guys give me some advice? Should I make it a happy or sad ending? :0

Ayano's POV:

Its been three days since the revealment of the Kannagi's plan, and I still am hiding. I ended up staying at a small motel is the outskirts of Tokyo, the place was pretty run-down, but it was good enough for me. I had to hide all of my spiritual power, so I put on a chakra control ring to hide my presence. Making it harder for them to find me. Making it harder for even Kazuma to locate me. As of know I am high up in the air of a 4 inch wide branch watching the cars drive down the highway, disappearing from my sight. As I watch the cars randomly drive by, I get into a daze and I start to question myself.

What was I thinking? Getting into a fight with Genma the loyal dog, and destroying him…..I could get sentenced to life! If only I didn't open that door! NO! If only that plan of theirs never existed! If only I could of not agreed in going back to Tokyo, then I wouldn't have put my life in such danger as death….and Jugo….my own father….brought me back as a tool…...I think to myself.

"I don't care anymore…." I mumble. I then took a deep breath, and calmed myself. Since I've been in the same place for a couple of hours, I decide that it's time to leave so I stand up on the branch and I jump downwards, flipping around, then finally I do a frontflip. Causing me to land on my feet.

I head back towards the motel that was around a mile away from me.

At the Motel:

"Ayano-chan, hurry up and get dressed, I need your help now!" Luka said in a rushed tone.

"Um…...okay…" I say back. Luka is the son of the owner of the motel, and he runs the little dinner on the first floor.

Luka has beautiful golden blond hair, that is spiked out in every direction, and he also has bright greenish-teal eyes. Of course he's taller than me, but he's more childish, which is um….kinda cute.

As to his response, I run into the changing room, where our lockers are at and I quickly run over to mine. 24-10-7 and a click. My locker opens and I fling it open, while ruffling my clothes together into the palm of my hands as I pull them out. I still blush at the sight of the clothes since they're one used to dress maids.

I let out a sigh, and I start to take my clothes off, first my white strapless shirt, that had beautiful bead lacing on the side. Then my skinny jeans, which were bright lipstick red. As I peeled the rest of my clothes off, I then start to put my maid outfit on.

I put the black ruffled top on first, then the white apron over the top of it. I'm fine with the maid outfit itself but…..why is it so short! / And not to mention that the top part where my chest is…...is very and I mean very tight…

I let out another sigh, and I put on the rest of my outfit on as well as the hair band, and the ruffled black bracelets. I then tie my long fiery hair up into a ponytail, allowing my bangs to hang down. I then put my clothes into my locker, and I shut it while running out of the locker room.

I run over to the kitchen, and as I open the door, Luka is there cooking a meal. The smell instantly makes my mouth water.

"Ayano-chan?" he asked as I snapped back into reality.

"Y-yes!?" I ask in a nervous tone.

"...I need you to start taking orders, so first off go take this set to table 4," he ordered as he passed me the tray of hot food to me.

"A-alright," I said as I turned around and opened the door with my free hand. I then walk over towards table number 4 where there was a young married couple, and there small girl toddler. Then turned to face me and in unison they asked, "Yes?"

"Here's your meal, sorry for the wait!" I say with a plastered fake smile on my face.

"Oh, why thank you!" said the lady. The man who was with her nodded his head in agreement, while the little girl colored her pantlet.

"Okay, well then chicken fingers and fries, for the little cutie," I said as I placed them in front of her. She dug right in not even caring if she was making a mess.

"The steak, and potatoes, with a side of veggies is for who?" I asked.

"That would be mine," the man said in a bland tone. I then nod my head and I place the plate in front of him. While placing a bowl of spaghetti in front of the lady, along with another smaller bowl with salad next to it. I then placed the tray in both of my arm, holding it close to my chest.

"May I get you anything else?" I ask.

"No, were good for now," the lady said with a smile.

"Well, enjoy!" I say with a smile, then I walk away.

After Shift:

After a 6 hour shift, I became completely exhausted! I was glad that my shift was finally over, but still I couldn't stop thinking….I couldn't stop thinking about a certain person. I couldn't stop thinking about the words that he spoke to me, the hatred in his eyes, the emotionless comments…

As I lay in my bed I can't help but to think about it all. I wish I could do something...but what? I can't go anywhere…..or the Kannagi's…..might find me…

What to do…...Maybe when I get enough money from working here I can…..maybe run away. Then I won't have to worry about the Kannagi's. As long as I lay-low, they might not ever find me….but….Bernhardt….tch….If he finds me…..what will he do? I think to myself as I cover my eyes with my arms.

What if he tries to take everything away from me again? That last thought brought tears to my eyes. I wouldn't be able to handle it, if he would kill them…..then….I would have no meaning to live anymore.

No….no I won't let him do it….I clenched my teeth together, causing a small grinding noise.

Just you wait Bernhardt, I will kill you….
